Overview


Using clear, kid-friendly language and bold, Blaqmoji-style characters, this book opens the doors to a world many Black and Brown youth see from a distance but rarely have explained just for them.

Explore what fraternities and sororities are and how the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) connects the Divine Nine organizations that leads, serves, and fights for justice.

Rooted in history but focused on the future, the book invites young readers to see themselves as future scholars, leaders, and change-makers in their communities.

Description


Instead of a dry history lesson, discover a living, breathing snapshot of culture, tradition, and pride—showing how Black Greek life has ALWAYS been about the values of Sisterhood/Brotherhood, Scholarship, Service, Leadership and Uplifting the Black Community!

Explore a vibrant, full-color introduction to the Divine Nine also known as Black Greek Letter Organizations—created especially with Black and Brown youth in mind! Readers are guided through what fraternities and sororities are and how the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) connects the Divine Nine.

Each organization is introduced in a way that is easy for young readers to understand—highlighting its spirit, core values, and the kinds of work members do in their communities through expressive characters, familiar colors, and subtle details that will make Divine Nine members and supporters smile, while still being welcoming and engaging for children encountering these organizations for the first time.

Perfect for families, educators, youth workers, churches, and community organizations, "Who Are We?" is both a keepsake and a conversation starter that invites young readers to see the Divine Nine as a powerful legacy they can one day step into—to continue the fight for our collective rights.
